Artificial intelligence (AI) is an entangling force impacting the scope of businesses in areas such as health, finance, education, and even consumer technology. Against this background, we sought to explore the influence of demographic factors on attitudes towards AI among Arabic speakers. A total of 210 participants were selected from the Arab speaking community in the United Arab Emirates, followed by a hypothesis testing using an independent t-test of the data collected through the survey that contained 30 questions divided into five different categories including demographics, voice assistant usage, specific aspect of AI voice assistants, challenges of AI voice assistants and IT specific field of AI voice assistants. Results demonstrated that the variable of gender shows a significant influence on the perceived importance of AI, where females think AI to be more important than males. There was a significant difference: that is, those who did not perceive cultural barriers rated AI as more important than those who did. This outcome indicates that the cognitive representation of AI depends on the cultural context. Likewise, no significant difference was found across the question of whether technical knowledge is perceived to be a barrier, or not. This might imply that technical knowledge may raise awareness, though not necessarily related to being translated to a higher perceived importance of AI. The study sheds light on how demographic factors interact with each other in a complex way and puts emphasis on the importance of demographic-specific approaches in implementing AI technology to boost integration and acceptance effectively.
